The site identifies itself under volny.centrum.cz, Centrum.cz, 1 neobvyklá surovina navíc a chuť je o 100 % lepší. Kdo to vyzkouší, nebude litovat, 10 minut práce a je hotovo. Jednoduché, šťavnaté a rychlé, 110 000 Kč/měsíc, maturita není třeba, stačí kurz. Tato stará profese v Česku zoufale chybí — separate editions publishing under one domain.

FAQ

Does volny.centrum.cz have an official API?

Not a public one. This endpoint is the practical alternative: their articles as structured JSON, with title, lead, publication time, section, byline and a link back to the original.

How do I get their RSS feed?

Most publishers expose one at /rss or /feed, but feeds carry only the last few dozen items and drop them within hours. This index keeps 60,356 of their articles and lets you filter by date, language and section.

How many articles does volny.centrum.cz publish per day?

993 on a median day, measured across 71 days.

Can I use this commercially?

The API is free and unauthenticated. What you may do with the content is between you and the publisher: we return metadata, a lead paragraph and a link, not a licence.
